For the vegetable filling, cook the carrot and fennel in salted water until al dente, then cut into small cubes. Do the same with the remaining vegetables. Mix everything with the salad cream or sour cream and season well. For the cucumber filling, finely slice or grate the gherkins. Finely dice the spring onion, apple, and bell pepper. Mix everything with the crème fraîche and season well. For the cream cheese and nut filling, mix the yogurt and cream cheese with the cream and sherry. Finely chop the parsley and stir it in with the walnuts, then season. Separate all lettuce leaves into individual leaves. Place the vegetable filling into the radiccio leaves, the cucumber mixture into the green lettuce leaves, and the nut filling into the chicory leaves. Garnish with cress. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.
